Spyker Cars N.V. (“the Company”), manufacturer of premium automobiles under the Saab and Spyker brands, today confirmed it has finalised the agreement with General Motors UK to purchase Saab Great Britain Ltd (“Saab GB”).

Spyker doesn't have quite the heritage of some well-known Italian and German makes, but it's working on it. The 2010 Spyker C8 Aileron Coupe could well see Spyker's coming of age, where it takes its place among the pantheon of desirable marques.
